Thoughts on Running

  • When you cross the finish line feeling that it has been a great adventure, you just know that you will do it again

  • A little bit of problem solving during the race means that you tried hard enough, and made it

  • The key to running success is learning to run close to your limits without overdoing it

  • It is very easy to be a bit too hungry early in the race, and pay the price during the last kilometers

  • The good thing about going out with fast pace early in the race is that one day you might make it to the end

  • The great thing about being out of shape when starting running is the sequence of positive surprises that inevitably will follow

  • There nothing like the mid-race feeling that this is going to be a good day, the only question being how good

  • Positive feelings and strength of mind are the low hanging fruit for a new record

  • The mystery of running is that sometimes it is just bloody impossible to beat that record no matter how much you try
